The short version
Wilson Trailer Company reported a problem with the front king pin. Here is what owners need to know.
In the the affected trailers, the welds that attach the bolster plate to the pickup plate around the kingpin may fail. Failure of these welds may result in the kingpin separating from the pickup plate.
If the kingpin separates from the pickup plate, the trailer could detach from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash.
Wilson will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the aluminum kingpin assemblies for cracked or failed welds, repairing them as necessary, free of charge.
